What We Treat

Focused support for the life in front of you

Your counselor draws from established approaches, names each one and adapts the work to your goals, comfort and pace.

Burnout and work stress

When work follows you home and rest stops helping. We talk through what is draining you, what you can change and what you can't, and build routines you choose.

Workload, boundaries and rest
Career decisions and transitions
Perfectionism and the pressure to perform

Anxiety and worry

Racing thoughts, constant worry, physical tension. We use cognitive behavioral and mindfulness-based methods, and explain each one before we try it.

Racing thoughts and persistent worry
Stress regulation and grounding skills
Sleep and the 3 a.m. mind

Communication with a partner, family or colleagues, and learning where your limits are. Sessions are one-on-one, and we focus on your side of the conversation.

Conflict cycles and repair
Saying no without guilt
Life transitions that strain relationships

Low mood and motivation

When everything feels heavy and motivation disappears. We combine talk therapy with behavioral activation, which means small, planned steps back toward what matters to you.

Low mood, isolation and loss of interest
Self-criticism and hopeless thinking
Routines that support you

Regular Check-ins
We revisit goals and adjust the approach as your needs change.

Common Questions

Before You Book

How is therapy paid for?

You pay for each session yourself, and your fee is given to you in writing before you start. We are out of network with insurance plans, and we give a monthly receipt you can send to your plan. How fees work has the details.

How long does therapy last?

It depends on your goals and what you are working through. Your counselor sets the pace with you, and we check in regularly about what is working and when you feel ready to change it.
